A project of Anna Freud, the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) brings together organisations and individuals committed to using and improving evidence to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. CORC are experts at measuring mental health outcomes.
Founded in 2002 by a group of mental health professionals determined to understand the impact of their work, today CORC's members include mental health service providers, schools, professional bodies and research institutions from across Europe and beyond.
CORC collects and uses evidence to enable more effective child-centred support, services and systems to improve children and young people's mental health and wellbeing. They have 20+ years' experience in bringing together theoretical knowledge on outcome measurement and relating this to the insights and expertise developed by practitioners working with children and young people on the ground.
CORC holds data relating to mental health and wellbeing outcomes of more than 400,000 children and young people in the UK.
Members of the team provide a range of support for the collection, analysis and reporting of data and the use of data to improve services as well as training and knowledge-sharing opportunities, such as the annual CORC Forum and Spring Seminar Programme.
